#1 - RAID is not a data backup scheme.
#2 - RAID 0 is disk striping. It has NO REDUNDANCY AT ALL. If any disk fails in the array, you lose the entire array. RAID 0 is used to increase performance, nothing more.
#3 - RAID 1 would be disk mirroring, which makes an identical copy of Disk A to Disk B and keeps them in sync. It's still not a backup, but at least it provides some redundancy in case of a disk failure.
Generally, you can't move the RAID set from one motherboard to another and expect it to work. It MIGHT be able to moved if the chipset manufacturer is the same, e.g. Intel Z68 to Intel Z77 might work, but it's not guaranteed.
Whatever you do, make sure you get a viable data backup plan in place. That might include purchasing a external hard drive and backing everything up to that -- then disconnecting that external drive and storing it in another place (like your office, a neighbor's house, in a fireproof vault in another room, etc.). If your house burns down or has a flood with your PC and the backup in the same room, you don't have a good backup plan.
